Boiler Explosions Threat To Schools Warning Issued To Budget Committee INDIANAPOLIS (UP)-Prof. H. J. Solberg, a member of the Indiana State Boiler Board, late Thursday warned the State Budget Committee that boiler explosions pose a threat to school children and college students in Indiana. Solberg, a member of the Purdue University faculty, urged the committee to give the boiler board extra money to hire four deputy inspectors. Solberg said Indiana has only one inspector to check 50,000 boilers and “pressure vessels” registered in the state. Some of the boilers are inspected by insurance companies, he said. He warned that buildings at Purdue and Indiana Universities, including fraternity and sorority houses, have boilers that are left uninspected. Solberg cited several explosions in recent years, including one which demolished the Sigma Chi Fraternity house at Butler University. He said boilers also are not being inspected by the state in grade and high schools. “Unless the trustees or whoever is in charge takes out insurance, they’re not being inspected because we don't have the men to do it," he said. Earlier, Governor Handley told the committee the state needs more inspectors because “boilers all over the state are ready to blow up any minute.” He said the inspection division should be returned from the State Fire Marshal's office to the State Labor Division Hire New Help Darrell Weaver, State Labor Commissioner, asked the committee for an extra $10,217 to hire four new inspectors and step up the program. In other action the board: Approved $275,000 requested by the Department of Public Works and Supply to buy a warehouse in Indianapolis. Director Clarence Drayer declined to say where the warehouse would be located, but said he is negotiating for a site. Approved a request for $7,500 to remodel new offices in Indianapolis for the Department of Public Works and Supply and SI,BOO per month for rental. State insurance offices will be moved into the old quarters formerly occupied by Public Works and the state treasurer will take over the offices vacated by the insurance department. The move is being made to give the state treasurer more office space. Approved a $122,000 request, from Logansport State Hospital for rehabilitation of its sewage plant. Approved plans for a joint extension center to be operated by Purdue and Indiana universities at Fort Wayne. < Approved $165,000 for strengthening the maximum security section of Norman Beatty Hospital at Westville and other hospital improvements.
